Sunny Deol's dedication for his brother Bobby 

In an interview with Telegraph India, he mentioned that his brother Sunny helped him throughout the shoot of Barsaat. Bobby Deol in Barsaat played the role of Badal. Sunny had learnt the skills from their father Dharmendra and thus he wanted to help his brother and mentor him in return. Sunny got everything organised for the film and supervised Bobby during the shoot of Barsaat. Bobby also added that Sunny did not shoot for any of the films for over a year until Barsaat had completed. He said that he was so involved that he did not get the time to do so. 

Bobby Deol in Barsaat: Prep for his role as Badal

Bobby shared his experience of preparing for his debut film. He remembered his first day with the director Shekhar Kapur who later quit and Rajkumar Santoshi took over the film. However, he remembered his first day at the set and not his first day with the new director. On his first day at the shoot, the set was made in an old factory and he had to walk in and do some illegal bout and win money. He said that it was his first-ever shot which unfortunately never made it to the movie.

He used to go for horseriding, learn bike stunts on the beach, and attend dance and fight classes. He took classes for two and a half months with Roshan Taneja and even learnt how to play the drums from the late music composer Aadesh Srivastava. He also got himself trained for running and juggling but the script kept changing and he had to do none of the above for Barsaat. He used to get excited and frustrated at the same time when the script changed but got used to it eventually. His character finally had to do action scenes and a little bit of comedy.
